Gentleman, welcome to the new year and I hope everyone had a blessed and safe holiday season. I wanted to take the time to write up a sincere thank you to all of you here. Up to this point I've now been apart of the forum for two seasons and I can honestly say I've learned more than I could have ever imagimed.

Obviously the season didn't turn out how I originally planned, we all desire to make money but in reality it can be a difficult process. This is my third year wagering on sports and I primarily stay with college football and some college hoops. However, this has been my first likely losing season, the first two I made a total of a couple thousand extra, this year I will likely lose the 1,750$ bankroll I started with or if I get lucky, possibly finish even. We shall see I guess starting tomorrow.

So what went wrong ? Because I hate losing and I've always been a student of any game I played I decided to look back on my mistakes. First off, this year my money management has been horrendous, and I made way to many large wagers that cost me dearly, that will undoubtedly be addressed for next season with a new system of wagering that I'm looking into and trying to model myself. Secondly, I've played way to many games. I feel like I understand a couple of conferences very well and a few teams better than most, and when I played those teams I usually did well. It was the plethora of other games that sunk the ship. Lastly, I didn't study the lines enough. What I mean by that is I passed up way to many team total bets, game totals and didn't start playing second half wagers until late, where I found out I'm actually pretty good at them.

Needless to say I've spent a lot of time the last two weeks reading the plays of other phenomenal cappers on this site. I've paid attention to how they wager on games and why. I want to take the time now to thank them as they have given me a new outlook on my own plays that will likely make me more successful next season. So thank you to Conan for your outstanding knowledge of the PAC 12, thanks red elephants for some amazing input on the sec, that is money Miller for a unique system that has brought some things to my attention; very cool indeed....fade2win, a true fade artist and possibly the best I've ever seen at it, that is for posting your plays I've really come to understand why you make them and the success at which you hit; thank you to greenbacks and the cruncher for all the information you two provide the forum with, its truly invaluable. Also rolltide with your system, its way to deep for me but it works and its pretty damn coll, I've made some plays based off of it. Thanks to zackattackisback, a capper that doesn't post often but when he does is usually spot on. Other thanks need to be extended to guys like gosooners, red eye, wanger, tmader and the many others that have visited my threads with kind words even when I'm losing LOLOLOL.... Thanks to the mkds for putting up with me, I try to keep it classy but I'm just like everyone else here, a homer to some degree. Lastly, a big shout out to Indiana for being the clasiest dude on the forum!


Sincerely gentleman, THANK YOU ALL!

In some way or another you've all helped me better understand this challenging field of sports betting. Even if I didn't list your name, you dudes are some of the best and I appreciate all of your opinions and input.

Bol boys, the seasons not quite over for me yet, so go ducks for 500$ and if they win I'll let it ride for one last hurrah.

Coming back with a new style and a better me for the 2016 football season, baleeeeve that!

Peace gentleman and happy new year!

Thankyou)(&

A2q.......you are correct, this is a great forum with soooooooooo many good cappers.........I believe they all go through those ugly spells, however many recover for a good year...........

as you mentioned we learn a little from each capper and each year it gets a little better.............I only wish I had the discipline of so many here...

thank you for all your time and effort given us this past year..........BOL with all you action in 2016.............indy

Appreciated that you gave your reasons for your plays. I've had losing streaks like that too. Go over each of your bowl games, wins and losses, and try to analyze why a play won or lost. Especially look at the ones that lost or won by a large margin. The close ones could have gone either way so they don't have as much value.

Wasn't around much for CFB season but you seem like a great guy and I can only wish people like you or anyone for that matter the best of luck in the future!! Its great to read something genuine from someone who is grateful and appreciative and especially when they spread kind words. You never know how much a smile or kind words will impact someone else in a positive way! Stay classy Addicted2quack!.... p.s. my advice I would share with you is two things. First, always stay positive! I've gone through spurts where I get negative and down when my teams are losing only to get more frustrated and spiral downward. When I stay positive and always keep hope that any game I have going has a chance to win until the buzzer goes off it's crazy the less amount of stress I feel. I really believe some days positive thoughts bring positive outcomes. Call me crazy. Second, is to look into flat betting every game the same amount. Takes extreme discipline but I got away from placing more units on certain wagers a little over 3 years ago and it was by far the best thing that I have ever done to help my self stay in game and win money. Taking away those days you go 2-1 but lose your big wager is crucial to your bankroll surviving. Bad days come to even the best cappers its inevitable. Knowing how to survive those days is how you last. Flat bet every game the same and like you said STUDY more and LIMIT your plays to what you know. Don't shoot from the hip and blindly follow people day in and day out as this will never force you to take responsibility for your own pics. These things really helped me. That might have been more than two things haha and I apologize for typing so much in your thread. BOL to you in 2016!
